Hi all. As it is a recognised bug in Spb Shell that the Spb Menu does not display correctly in Landscape only, from a cold boot until you have navigated through some of its menu's (then it works perfectly until the next soft-reset), I was wondering if anyone had come across a simpler solution to this current problem.
Has anyone else experienced a slowing down of the O/S with it installed or memory leakage?
I 've looked around at previous threads and other sites, but I've either missed it or it doesn't exist.
I'm running version 1.0.0, Build 2632
Is there a newer version available? If so, can someone please provide a link as I cannot find anything at Spb's site.
Cheers
C'mon people. I know I'm not the only one to experience this as I have read a long thread about this on the developers website. It's just sometimes us end-users find ways around these types of issues and I was hoping this was one such time......No takers? OK, I'll simply report back the solution for all the shy ones once I have found it myself.

you are not the only one, i have this problem too, that's why i disable the SPB menu, i am now only using the SPB Mobile Shell Today plugin. if i am not wrong, once you get your menu working or eventually load up, all your sound is gone.
I have heard other people having this problem too, so until next version is out, i will disable the menu for now.
Wow. I didn't realize before. I have that prob to..
Ha ha me too. Didn't realise the sound issue was down to the menu though. Thanks for that Wu.

glad to help, haha, you don't know what you have miss. I was surprise at first why my phone doesn't ring.
My mVoice software suffers from a similar bug. I think I had another program that did this also but I don't remember which it was. Long since deleted it.
My camera doesnt work when mobile is running,it just comes up blank.
I did have the same issue, however after installing true VGA, i no longer suffer from this issue; works perfectly.
what???????????????????????????
how did you get mobile shell to work with truevga?
several people including me don't get mobile shell to work (at least not the today plugin).
after installing i can't go to the today screen anymore. it gets stuck there. i need to go back to vga mode and uninstall it or hardreset.

Yes, your quite right, you need to take the main spb shell today plugin out. However, the other plugins like world time and contacts etc can still remain. It is quite stable....
The problem is caused by the ATI videocard. It is not correctly supported bij SPB. Weeks ago I was in contact with SPB and I showed them this problem. The first 7 or 8 times that you use the menu nothing happens. At that point all te graphic memory get flushed. After the is no driver buffer memory left, it will show the icons. But at that point the camera and the sounds will not work anymore until you reset your device.
Bloody ATI/AMD...they suck!!!

This ATI Imageon chip/driver is becoming the bain of my life!! Video performance is lacking due to it, and now it affects other applications and sound too.
I have been complaining about ATI since September 2006, specifically the 2282 Imageon technology found in the Hermes, Trinity and now the Athena. That's a lot of unsupported devices floating around out there. According to Corecodec, ATI haven't exactly been playing ball with them either...and they are developers!
Maybe if enough of us complain (large petition) to HTC, they can get ATI/AMD to get a fix together that will work on all Imageon based devices..WM5/6 . After all, HTC must be shelling out a fair few dollars to them...so if they will listen to anyone, it most likely will be HTC. Enough already...wish I had stuck to my guns and stayed away from any more devices that are Imageon 'disabled'. lol.
P.S. Oh by the way...if Spb haven't or cannot fix this by their next release, Spb Shell is coming off my Ameo and I will be demanding a FULL refund on the basis that it does not work as advertised on my WM5 device.
P.P.S Another good reason is that if Spb don't get it fixed by the next release, it's probably that they can't as they will need tech assistance from ATI/AMD and based on their track record with Corecodecs coreplayer, I'd say the possibility of this happening is slim to none. Just my experience over the last 8 months.

thought you maybe had a solution for this.
i love the mobile shell today plugin, don't need the menu or start screen. so the most important doesn't work.
i've already written this in their forum, they don't seem to care, said it's the realvga resolution which is causing the problem (i should uninstall realvga... right, cause mobile shell is so much more important, man).
well maybe, but i don't think it's a lot to ask for a realvga today plugin which would work fine (as every other plugin does too), esp. as one of the devolpers has a vga device.
quite poor support (i love the sbsh support who help you in every way they can and very fast). i'm not a fan of spb developing/developers, that's why i don't use their products anymore and won't buy new ones.

That's exactly what I've done. Disabled the menus and just use the Now screen. It's annoying 'cos I used it extensively on my Wizard.
One of the other problems is that when using Mobile Shell with SPB Diary, quite a lot of the screen is used up so only a days worth of appointments is usually shown.

Still sound issue
Hi there guys. I also had the issue with the sound. Has since uninstalled Spb shell and done a hard reset but sound issue remains. Any help please?
I have the T-mobile ROM with WM5 on. Do any of you have WM6 and where to get it?

this must be the 7th or 8th times i have answer this question......NO, THERE IS NO WM6 YET, it will be out in about 2 months.
If you have done the hard-reset and haven't install any program, and your sound doesn't work, then this is something serious and might not due to SPB shell.
so, spb shell is NOT working on x7500, right?

The potrait still wok, but the landscape didn't.

In this thread you can post your "Tips and Tricks".
My first tip:
- It a good idea to tell WM6 to store the attachmains on your storage card. Otherwise it will be put on your device and taking memory!
Question:
- It it possible to tell internet explorer to use the storage card for it's cache files?
yes with sk tools for exemple
Task switcher
On the rom of mUn there is a nice task switcher from which on the main screen you can choose another program, stop programs and so on.
Does somebody has a cab to install this functionality on the LSVW rom?

Lock Device
Because of the problem SBP Mobile Shell eats memory I do not use it anymore
One of the nice features it offers is to lock the device.
Does any one has a replacement for this?
you mean to auto lock it? i just lock mine manually using the dopod lock thingy....

With regard to SpB Mobile Shell, it may be worth leaving it to settle down a little.
I use SpB Diary, Phone Suite and Mobile Shell.
Due to the possible memory leak, I removed Mobile Shell for 3 days, but couldn't live without its functionality.
I reinstalled it on Monday evening, at which point, Memory was 22MB. By 8am it was down to 17.5MB, so I thought 'here we go again'; however, byt 11am it was back to 18.5MB, and has stayed pretty much the same since, so I'm happy!

Very curious! I have noticed this as well! The Spb apps eat the RAM for quite a chunk, but eventually they stop at some point, and RAM gets returned by little bits... Mine hovers around the 18/19 Megs as well...
I'm using SpbPocketPlus, SpbWeather and SpbPhoneSuite (and also couldn't live without these three essentials)
I know it's been mentioned before regarding an incompatibility between SPB Mobile 1.0 and the Ameo, but I thought that this might have been rectified by 1.5.. unfortunately not...
Unless I'm missing a trick that someone else has worked out...??
The application works okay for a while but if I fiddle with the NOW screen too much I end up muting the phone's speaker, regardless on the volume setting... has anyone worked out a way around this?
Also, it has the same glitch that Pocket Plus has where occasionally, but more often than not, if loaded and you soft-reset the device, the device will go into a crazed loop, showing the boot screens, then flashing the today screen (blank) then repeating the boot screens and so on....

That's the exact reason I uninstalled it from 3 devices we have in the family. Not worth purchasing until issues fully resolved.
i have it in spb pocket plus
no probleme over all
i think that there's some problem (i see it when using profiles)
but i don't know if it's spb phone suite that makes it
my X7500 is stable, but i have tu reset it some time ( it freezes using it in differrent cases), but i don't know if it is the x7500 rom or any of my installed software
over all it's like all pocket pc i had , it run very very good at star with no program instaled, then the program you instal, the less stable and slower it become
but what to do ? instal or not instal programs ?

Whether you install them or not depends on how valuable the software is to you. To me I would like to have it on there, but I work shifts and sometimes need to get up early hours, without sound on my device I wouldn't hear the alarms.... so can't risk it :-(
"Get an alarm clock"... why should I? It's a feature on the phone, don't buy an all singing all dancing phone then tell it to stop singing :-D
Ive been late for work once because my phone crashed.
I avoid anything that could cause problems on it now!
I agree, you get something that can do everything so you can use it for everything! I like being able to set different alarms on different days, with different sounds etc. Not many alarm clocks are that configurable.
"I agree, you get something that can do everything so you can use it for everything!
"
exactly !!
and X7500 is clearly not very stable (but is it rom or instaled programmes that makes it unstable?)
i had one time the same probleme, with no reason (the x7500 was sleeping in the hall) it freeze/crash at 23h59 !!
???
for chance i had no important appointment this morning !!
so from this day i close all programs , and just let spb alarm
no probleme then
but it's crazy we've got the best device that exists and we can not trust it !!!
talking about spb phone suite, for myself i find it very usefull
(excuse my bad english)

Unfortuantely it's not just SPB Plus, it's also Mobile and a few others in their suite :-(
I have lots of programs installed, but NO today plugins etc. No spb apps, no launchers or Wizbars etc.
Its totally stable like this. It DOES NOT crash.
When I start adding today apps and stuff it starts to crash, even when I started the HTCHomePlug app, the phone kept crashing. Turning that off fixed it.
hard reset, dont install anything, its totally stable.

you just said everything that is needing to say about pocket pc
great, thank
I didnt say dont install apps! I install apps on my PPC and PC, they both work.
What I dont do is install hacks that change major operating system features. Like third party skin/launchers ala Wisbar Advance etc.
Im not knocking WA or its ilk, I just think when you start hacking into the os in that way you are bound to sacrifice stability. There is no was the coders can know everything they need to about Windows, MS just wont let them.
If its important to have your phone working 100%, be carefull what you install, same as with a PC. If its THAT important, then by all means get a nokia and a separate PPC.
If your happy with the fact it will crash randomly, then thats fine too.
I mainly brought this up to point out to all the people knocking WM5 and MS for the Windows Mobile OS, its not their fault! its the third party apps making it unstable. The rom, as shipped is solid.

Sorry, but I disagree with this point.
I have had several models of most of T-Mobiles MDA range and two of the Ameo. I've had to return Compact III handsets, which just have factory settings due to ROM stability issues, mainly a crash loop.
You rarely get a ROM that is 100% stable, especially from a UK network provider, due to the provider hitting the point that you quiet rightly stressed, by them adding their third party settings, applications and tweaks.
Most providers want to brand the phone with their identity, which causes instabilities, but these edits are on the shipped ROM release, not something which the typical end user can modify. Bringing me back to my point, the ROM as shipped, is not always great in itself either.

Ha ha, this goes to show how wierd things could become.
I do not have this problem with SPB plus. It works wonderfully. It has not even once reset in a loop. Stange?? However, when I tried SPB mobile, it did caused very strange behaviour, and I uninstalled it immediately.
I use SPB plus with magic button and they complement each other very nicely. SPB plus lets me lauch all applications from today screen. Once launched, magic button let it stay on the task bar, and I simply click on the task bar to switch between application. It is very stable. I have about 30 different applications installed in my device. All very stable. No issue with SPB pocket plus and can't live without it.
does anybody know how to deactivate the devicelock on the phone in favor of S2U2? i keep having to unlock both and its quite annoying.. a quick answer would be appreciated =D

What version are you using that works well on your Treo Pro?
I tried the 1.37 version and it doesn't seem to work well at all on mine...
Thx
Well see that's the thing about s2u2. It works fairly well on most HTC devices....but not all. And likewise for other WM devices. Its more like a trial error kinda thing. If it works well on your particular device...your in luck...otherwise....your better off uninstalling it. Even though its reached version 1.37...there's no guarantee of it working on all WM devices. And of course the older versions have more bugs etc in 'em. Having said that....its still a really cool app nonetheless

Wish that it could work on my Treo Pro. I downloaded the v 1.37, set up on the phone (not the memory card) and could not get it to work much at all....slow was always there, but hanging on occasion so that I would have to soft reset. Don't know if it is a conflict with this slider-type software and SPB Mobile Shell or something else... I did disable Keyguard in settings, but still the standard "push center key to unlock" would show up. Hmmm......
So, like you, I am looking forward to it working on the Treo Pro
Just came across this post. Tried 1.50d and it still doesn't work well on TP. Hangs when click on S2U2 Settings.
Sansnil: read your other post recommending Sunscape so will try and see if that fairs better.
It seems this has now been officially released. The build is 6411. I tried but I can't find any differences between this and the leaked build.....but then again it was working fine for me with no issues.
Has anyone else seen any improvements?
You can get the trial from here:

the only differences i have found is that the x button now works without it freezing the handset and that its a bit quicker and smoother. but have not found anything else which is a shame as i was expecting more from the offical release compared to the beta (what now seems like a near final release with one or 2 bugs to iron out).
I will try the new version and hope it will fix my Facebook via Wifi and X Button freeze bug. But like I understood Ganondolf the x button works fine what is absolutely an improvement.

mine fires up when i hit the today screen panel. kind of convenient for me.
ok so my first imptrssion: its awesome! has the look of cupcake (sorta) cool widgets and super slick interface.. glad the panel button wrks again
did have a few probles with the shell, seemed rather slugish if u wanted to switch back to today or exit the shell and restart it, seemed to take a while. also... anyone else notice if u added any widget regaurding the camera it did nothing.. wouldnt open at all im using R3a camera tho.... couldnt change icons at all... which is rather annoying considering the features pocket plus 4 gives u for adding/changing icons and their names..... i uninstalled due to the speed of the shell and the inconvience of the icons and widgets ..... i hope they make sum tweaks .... such a beautiful shelll. and very finger friendly
ok. P.S. and... does anyone know if you can add today plugins like widgets? this would be awesome too add google search as a widget... couldn't figure out how... thus why i reverted back to just plain old pocket plus...
just a few tweaks and it'd be perfect!!!!
yea...tried it for about a day, and i think i am going to uninstall it now. It amazed me at first, but i think the old combination of pocket plus and today plugin already does the job for me anyway...
the facebook integration here feels pretty useless too....
i have a small problem with this one.
Since i have installed spb3 , when i make a call, it automatically opens tomtom.
It is very annoying.
Anybody got the same problem?
And how did you fix it?
Thanks.
It seems that I can't add any programs of my own choice in the predetermined categories of the launcher (Internet, Tools, etc.) or add my own category. Or am I missing something? This is what made Mobile Sheel 2.x interesting and customizable. If this option really is gone I think it's a weird choice.

All these changes can still be made. Adding/Deleting from the default menus needs a registry key added per folder. Subfolders can only be created in the registry at the moment. I don't really use this much but I imagine (so I don't know for sure!) that the GUI will have this functionality added in future releases.

Spb Mobile Shell 3
Works fine on my X1, apart from multimeadia. None of the camera links launch the camera application. Anyone else found this problem
Hi folks,
I am new here, but I have read through most of the forums and cannot replicate my problem, so here goes.
I installed SPB Mobile 3 over the air last night, and it worked like it was supposed to. I didn't like 2 because when you hit the power off button it went back to the today screen.
SPB M3 worked like a charm last night, when I hit the power button, it was there waiting. When I turned it off, it turned the screen off (without going to home) When I hit the icon I placed on the nice new display screen, it went to the today screen, and I could start dialing an unknown number.
After crashing SPB twice trying to set default ring volumes, I figured I did enough damage, and hard reset my phone.
The mobile shell will not come on now unless I hit start (pain) and after I hit power off, I must power off the today screen also (or wait the 1 minute timeout) Does anyone have any idea what I screwed up or did not configure right? I understand this is more of an SPB mobile 3 problem (more than likely) but I figure there are pros here.
I have hard reset since, removing spb
I have tried using spbwatcher, which almost eliminates making a phone call not from contacts
I have tried replicating what I did last night (installing SPB over air, and through desktop)
I am just a little frustrated because the new SPB looks great, easy to use and very productive.
Any thoughts?
Just to add something to your info. SPB Mobile Shell does not work with RealVGA.
To bad though.. ..It looks like a cool program but it's not useful for Palm users at the moment.
I'm running it on my treo pro & it works fine
SPB MS3
Running great on my Treo Pro... wouldn't like the phone too much without it!

Sadly there is in fact a very bad bug with the Treo Pro ringer and Treo Pro. SPB has this listed as a critical bug on the Treo Pro.
Yeah, the treo has a lot of system hacks with its side buttons -- and MS3 didn't expect this, it seems.. so there are some very significant issues with the Treo Pro/MS3.
but I'd ever read there is some methord to fix the problem to make SPB MS3 work on PRO with 96dpi.
I must be missing something b/c so far MS3 works pretty well on my treo pro. Maybe I don't know enough to see a bug if it hit me in the face - what should I be looking for?
These Issues are solved:
1st Treo Issue:
Ringer volume would drop to 0% if you touched the volume buttons on the side of the phone.
2nd
On the Lifestyle layout, if you used individual widgets for mail, mms etc it would not display voice mail messages but it did on the professional layout.
3rd
Again on the lifestyle layout the mail widget that was combined with the sms and missed call would not link to the primary email account.
If you follow this link you can download the beta versions (which still require your MS3 serial number). I currently have 3.0.1 Beta 3 (build 6488) which fixed the issues listed above that I was able to find wrong.
Currently they released a newer beta version that I will be testing out shortly 3.0.1 Release Candidate 1 (build 6501). Hope this helps

Thanks so much scotty for taking the time out to answer my question. If I download the new beta and install... do I need to uninstall the old one? Will I lose all settings and favorite contacts set up, etc?
Thanks,
Sorry about your problem I got sprint touch vogue, where did you get SPB 3, I'd can we get the reg codes?
Thanks and good luck

No need to uninstall the old version and you won't lose a thing. Just run the new install and it will tell you that it needs to remove the old one first but let it do the uninstall for you. It will automatically go in to the new install and all of your settings will stay the same.

If you don't have the money to buy it that's understandable. You can always check out a torrent site or send me a PM, I may be able to be of assistance
If you want a cheap alternative check out Panoramic Launch Pad:
http://www.panoramicsoft.com/mobileapps/launchpad/LaunchPad.php
It doesn't do quite as much as Mobile Shell but it uses way less memory, costs a lot less and works perfectly on my Pro
thats the worst product ever. you cant remove pages and the bringup minmized program task manger is dug in.

Scott is correct on the solved issue. sadly there are still critical bugs, and you can see on the SPB forums all the treo pro users are ticked off at lack of fix.

try and call up your task manager! Task manager is killed in MS3, this is not fixed. It is a Treo Pro specific bug.
Also there are message count/notifications problems on MS3 with many devices and the Treo pro is no exception as well as very difficulty to nail down battery consumption

hi folks,
i am new here, but i have read through most of the forums and cannot replicate my problem, so here goes.
I installed spb mobile 3 over the air last night, and it worked like it was supposed to. I didn't like 2 because when you hit the power off button it went back to the today screen.
Spb m3 worked like a charm last night, when i hit the power button, it was there waiting. When i turned it off, it turned the screen off (without going to home) when i hit the icon i placed on the nice new display screen, it went to the today screen, and i could start dialing an unknown number.
After crashing spb twice trying to set default ring volumes, i figured i did enough damage, and hard reset my phone.
The mobile shell will not come on now unless i hit start (pain) and after i hit power off, i must power off the today screen also (or wait the 1 minute timeout) does anyone have any idea what i screwed up or did not configure right? I understand this is more of an spb mobile 3 problem (more than likely) but i figure there are pros here.
I have hard reset since, removing spb
i have tried using spbwatcher, which almost eliminates making a phone call not from contacts
i have tried replicating what i did last night (installing spb over air, and through desktop)
i am just a little frustrated because the new spb looks great, easy to use and very productive.
Any thoughts?

i like it. Run very smooth
I use SPB Pocket Plus 4 with 320x320 96dpi, works like a charm!
funny thing is SPB PP4 only works with 320x320, whereas SPB mobile shell only works with 240x240.
working spb?
i was wondering if anyone has a link of spb that will out live its 2 week experation date?
i cant seem to find one. thanks
